Some songs will make you scream, some will make you spiral down. But with Lemonade, all you have to do is sit with it. No tension, no rush—just enough mood and volume to create space for your candid moments.
Lemonade is one of the four tracks from Breakfast, the latest EP of Hong Kong-based indie outfit Besides led by David McGinty. Blending lo-fi alternative rock, slowcore, and shoegaze, it channels My Bloody Valentine, Low, or Duster in one track for that warm, melancholic edge.
The track has that morning weekend feel into it—steady and soft enough to let you breathe and be fully present in the moment. Each layer in the mix is simple, slow, yet textured enough to make you feel a distinct sound of stillness that lingers. But beneath its surface, it establishes a nostalgic mood, a feeling, without that mental gymnastics that most complex compositions demand.
One thing about this track is it doesn’t drown you with cathartic outbursts, you don’t have to chase its depth and meaning because it just is—a simple and warm experience for a rainy weekend morning playlist, stripped-down live set, or just to simply accompany you on your quiet days.
Despite its lightness, it doesn’t feel empty or soulless at all. Lemonade truly embodies Besides’ signature sound that’s subtle, minimal yet with a solid emotional edge. A proof that great music can also be felt when it’s less packed and more intentional.
